Astressed statistics student wants an escape from studying, but he cannot decide which entertainment product or activity to purchase. what component of motivation is lacking?

There are three components of motivation. These are activation, persistence, and intensity.

Activation is the decision to initiate a behavior.
Persistence is the continued effort towards reaching a goal despite of the obstacles he/she is encountering.
Intensity is the concentration and vigor one applies in pursuit of his/her goal.
